I thought I’d disabled notifications from the dark place but apparently not, and after well over a year of nothing it just decided to share this with me
A screenshot of an iPhone Home Screen, cropped to just show the latest notification, which is from twitter- showing a suggested tweet from user that I don’t follow that simple says ‘Kill yourself’

Semi-obligatory hospital photo from yesterday, shortly after getting my gall bladder removed. The NHS is a wonderful thing.
A selfie of yours truly in a hospital bed, looking a little confused, understandable given that the general anaesthetic was still wearing off. I’m wearing a hospital gown and my hair is looking quite bouffant.

really should have googled this earlier. anyway, finally, I can use ISO 8601's extended format
A screenshot of a modal window from macOS's finder application showing the information of a directory folder. It shows the name as "2025-05-31 11꞉30". Normally colon characters aren't allowed in file or directory names due to some unix/bsd command line gui weirdness. Idk

The lovely wife and yours truly at Pompeii. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️
Two people- my wife and I, taking a selfie in the main square in the ruins of Pompeii. Vesuvius is in the background. I am wearing a T-shirt that has the words ‘Human’ where each letter is made up of various pride flags.

Picked the perfect time to go to Italy, when it’s 5° warmer back at home. Can’t beat the setting though.
A photo of a road in southern Italy leading up to a villa. Various types of trees line the sides of the road, almost obscuring the buildings from view. The sky is cloudless and a lovely deep blue.

Like a weird alternate reality version of Psych
A behind the scenes photo from The West Wing, showing Big Bird from Sesame Street talking to Dulé Hill, who has his arms crossed seemingly with a bit of a scowl.

Just don’t do what I did in my last role like that and conflate the two! 🫠

I absolutely cannot justify getting this right now but this is a very nice simple piece of design grovemade.com/product/wool...
An illustration of one of Grovemade's new 'Studio pad', a desk mat with a wooden tray for pens that goes along the top of it. It has a keyboard, mouse and notebook on it. It also has a gap behind the tray with a lip where you can put your iPad or notebook and it'll stand upright at a slight angle to point at you while you work. Surrounding it are other desk items such as postit notes, scissors, a cup of coffee and behind it, a mac and computer monitor.

We already have Young Einstein and that's basically the same thing. Cool? Cool
A poster from the 1988 comedy film 'Young Einstein' showing a long-haired actor (Yahoo Serious) being zapped with electricity while playing an electric guitar that looks like it's been pieced together from all sorts of other items

Zen
A photo taken in Isabella Plantation, a garden within Richmond Park with a stream running through it and a small pool with brightly coloured flowers and plants around it. Light streams through the gaps in the trees creating patches of light and dark.

Forget LLMs, the biggest energy use this year will be all the Apple TV users leaving their screens on the Snoopy screensaver (guilty)

Haven’t watched it for a while but is it just me that thinks the font on the University Challenge scoreboard looks very odd? Thought my parents’ in law’s tv had some janky upscaling going on
The number 95 shown on a scoreboard where both characters have very odd tails and bowls to the shape of them The number 100 shown on a scoreboard where the ‘zero’ characters have a very odd shape to them

Of course I didn’t get what I really wanted

A screenshot from ‘A Muppet Christmas Carol’ showing Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchett at the end of singing the song ‘One More Sleep ‘til Christmas’. He’s standing alone in a snowy Victorian street with a full moon and a shooting star flying through the night sky.

Only 6/7? Embarrassing. I’m more of a cat person but still
